“…[Colour figure can be viewed at wileyonlinelibrary.com] Curated collections of DNA material could generate more complete inventories that are useful in understanding plant biodiversity patterns and evolutionary history (e.g., Molina-Venegas et al, 2017) and future spatial distributions (e.g., González-Orozco et al, 2016). Furthermore, their curated information could improve present and future conservational efforts in terms of efficiency if it is implemented with geospatial information as the NEXTGENDEM project does (Caujapé-Castells et al, 2021;Laity et al, 2015). Moreover, DNA banks could concentrate their sampling efforts both on the type localities of species and on different locations of species' distribution range.…”

The use of molecular methods in plant systematics and taxonomy has increased during the last decades; however, the accessibility of curated genetic samples and their metadata is a bottleneck for DNA‐based genetic studies in botany. Plant biodiversity DNA banks and DNA‐friendly collections could be critical suppliers of curated genetic material for researchers in the current context of plant biodiversity loss. Here, we aimed to understand the potential of plant DNA banks and DNA‐friendly collections to enhance the growth and openness of scientific knowledge. The preservation of genetic material should become part of a natural collection's process for the generation of extended specimens enabling the preservation of both the phenotype and genotype and contributing to the generation of data networks which cross‐fertilize other fields. These curated collections are advantageous in endangered species research, detecting processes related to extinction, giving a genetic dimension to IUCN assessments or completing the Leipzig Catalogue of Vascular Plants. Therefore, DNA collections are fundamental in producing FAIR data, responsible research and innovation (RRI) and meeting the goals of international conservation programmes. The completion of natural collections is important for current research efforts and furthermore vital to support future research in an era of ongoing plant biodiversity loss.
